This bill prohibits South Dakota public schools, universities, technical colleges, and state agencies from using public money or state facilities to host, promote, or fund "lewd or lascivious content," which the bill defines to include drag performances where someone's gender identity differs from their biological sex, as well as other sexually explicit material. The bill creates a new legal restriction on how state institutions can spend money and use their property, with violations potentially subject to state obscenity laws.
